Determination of Gender in the Pearl OysterPinctada margaritifera [PDF]
Journal of Shellfish Research, 2011 The pearl industry in French Polynesia is based on exploitation of natural stocks of the blacklip pearl oyster (Pinctada margaritifera). It generates an annual turnover of €90 million. Improvements in pearl quality need genetic studies to improve the populations.

Embryonic and larval development of Pinctada margaritifera (Linnaeus, 1758) [PDF]
Molluscan Research, 2003 We describe the developmental stages of the black-lip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera (Linnaeus, 1758), larvae from fertilisation through embryonic development and larval growth in the laboratory at 28 ± 1°C. Larvae were anesthetised, fixed, critical-point dried and examined using a scanning electron microscope.

Influence of temperature and pearl rotation on biomineralization in the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2018 The objective of this study was to observe the impact of temperature on pearl formation using an integrative approach describing the rotation of the pearls, the rate of nacre deposition, the thickness of the aragonite tablets and the biomineralizing potential of the pearl sac tissue though the expression level of some key genes.
